12 from 12 {January 2013}

12 photos during the 12th of each month...today without words.



Reality: Probably the hardest day in my life by trying not to break into tears every single hour (so much to no weeping)...I gave my best.
All the others as always: Here

Countdown {And no, I'm not good in choosing suitable titels...I know}

Making the best out of my last week means...

...spending some time at bus stops obviously waiting for the bus...gray clouds!
Being happy about small things...like a place on the bus at one of the big windows!
Using a Christmas present and attending my first massage! (I guess I made a total fool of myself since I didn't know how the whole thing works (seriously...what do you wear, where do you go, do you talk during your massage, hair up do....? I never thought there was so much to a massage!!)...but oh well, that's probably a must-be for any firsts :P)
I spent a wonderful sister-afternoon watching Life of Pi and being treated with the worlds best Cheesecake ♥

And I beat someone at Jenga (never underestimate 5 years of babysitting and Jenga battles! Ha! Pride is saved!) And I obviously goofed around quite a bit
But besides all the fun and the smiles it's also reality that someone breaks into more and more frequent cry-episodes. I hope I can hold it together though. Did I mention I don't like Goodbye's at all...!?

Not so random Friday night activities {Back to ice cream heaven}

Remember this post?
Well I requested a second turn before I'll leave next week and as it turned out, we were all at home at a random Friday night so bring on the ice cream!!!

We tried to trick our new Chinese student into believing we would have to walk for one and a half hours first. It did not stop him in his intentions of joining us. And of course...we did not walk ;)

It was raining (more of a fact than something I would complain about. And btw: I like rain!) The advantages of having a car ;)
Most difficult is to decide for which flavour your going this time...soooo much too choose from (and am attentive older host brother helping to decide is definitely helpful...for new students :P)
Peanut butter, mint, chocolate, fruits, crunch, brownies, cookie dough....



But we finally all came up with suitable flavour combinations!

Smiiiiiile :)
An inevitable ice-cream-spoon photo
Find happiness within. In my case coffee-ice-cream-happiness with oreos and cookie dough ♥
And jep....it was all gone way to soon
A good way to close my last day of work and start my last full weekend in my favorite city!

In the middle of my last two weeks {9 days to go}

Today just images. Because I feel like it.

Pretty cold recently. Mittens are definitely in fashion right now!
More of my favorite view...Funny here: Can you spot the two little spots on the very left side (halfway down the border right under the mountains) Downtown peeking out of the fog!
That explains the peeking skyscrapers...scary way to work
And one last lunch with the guys at work today. Two month of internship are done
Oh! Un dich hab heute morgen verschlafen! So richtig! Und das war ein erstes Mal (ich war noch nie nie in meinem Leben zu spaet) war ja klar, dass das an meinem letzten Arbeitstag passieren musste... but: nobody is perfect ;)

I want to...

Instead of going through my daily morning routine of reading all my blogs on my blog list while I'm having breakfast, I just turned of the light and watched the sun rise slowly over the mountains. See the sky turn from black, to gray to a burning orange-red. Because...in just 10 days I won't be here anymore. I wont see those mountains, and the fog which hovered over downtown and made everything look gloomy and sinister. Fog with glowing mountains above...

I want to hold on tight and never let go

01.01.2013 {Waking up to sunshine}

I woke up to the sun, shining through my curtains. What does this do to me. A huuuuge smile for the rest of the day!
(Careful: Photo overload ahead!)

But the sun was not just shining through my curtains...
Passing a surprised host dad I ran out...in my flip flops...yeeeah...I ran back again...
Standing in front of our door...
And walking down the few steps...on the street...in piyamas...oh well
Passing small in betweens...
And crossing the street...
Take a look back
But what's in front of you is soo much better! ...my bus :P

How I love this place ♥
Frost and sunshine
Downtown...
Warm Jackets
Pressed so many times
Waiting
And going back...
Up the steps....
 I did mention I love this place, didn't I!? Random morning activities on the 1st January 2013.
